Doctoral Researcher | Chemistry & Biochemistry

Research scientist profile with strong chemistry and biochemistry execution.

I am a PhD candidate combining mechanistic biochemistry with practical chemistry workflows. I lead experimental work packages from design to readout and improve reproducibility through protocol standardization, structured documentation, and Python-based analysis.

Connect

Open to new challenges in research, scientific operations, interdisciplinary project roles, and R&D.

Core strengths

Practical strengths I bring to chemistry and biochemistry teams.

Experimental design and delivery

Plan and execute experiments from setup to validated readout, including synthesis support and sample prep.

Protein chemistry and enzymology

Develop protein and assay workflows and interpret results with a mechanism-driven perspective.

Reproducibility and team delivery

Strengthen reliability through documentation standards, structured reporting, and team coordination.
